what if the revolutionaries instead of executing the people they thought were enemies of the revolution exile them to Louisiana?nobles,clergy,wealthy merchants...?
 
In other words send them all together to a place where they can get organized, get help from their brethren abroad (Catholic Church, Spanish or German aristocracy) and come back with a vengeance?

Basically, and if somehow you remove the fear mongering then the revolution isn't as powerful and this wouldn't be an issue anyway.
 
There was the so-called dry guillotine,Guiana,where you are expected to die of tropical disease soon after arrival.

You would have to separate them widely for it to work, for sure. If you broke them up and confiscated most of their wealth you might well pull it off.
